I have been pooping normally (once a day usually within an hour or so of having my coffee) but I also have IBS. No constipation for me, no nausea and no morning sickness.

Bfn at 10 dpo. I hate myself.

I've always popped abnormal. Like once or twice every week or two. But for about a week now I've pooped 2x a day may we more some days Nd I found out 4 days ago I was pregnant. This never happened with my first pregnancy, I was extremely constipated with her.so this is totally different. Lol

This is so funny because I was constipated with my first pregnancy and with this one I have to go to the bathroom at least twice a day. Each pregnancy is different.

Yes! It happened to me!

Apparently the pregnancy vitamins can make you uber regular!!!

Oh yay! Not just me!!

yep. (I think its more common to get constipated, as folks say, but this is not out of the norm.)

Yes!!!

A lot of people have the opposite issue...but I'm also in your camp, had this with #1 too.

Yeah I have also been pooping 3+ times a day, sometimes normal consistency and other times it's diarrhea.

Yes. The thing that shocked me most about pregnancy was the unholy gas during the first trimester. Digestion was out of whack. It passed. (Pun intended!)

Yep. Diarrhea or sometimes just lots of poops (>5day) in first and part of second trimester for both of my pregnancies. Actually my first pregnancy, I'd wake at 3am every night for a big diarrhea- pain in the butt!

I am definitely more regular during this pregnancy. It probably helps that I take prenatals, at best, irregularly, but I eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. The iron in prenatals is a big culprit in constipation from what I hear. During the last pregnancy, I had a couple of weeks of loose stools. Went to a GI about it and had them do all kind of tests only to have them come back with "IBS" (code for: we don't know what the hell is wrong with you) before I finally realized that it started around the same time I'd switched to a different prenatal. I switched back and my poop went back to normal.
